Below are some quotes from Michael, taken from www.williamsfortexas.com/issues.
On Government's Role in our Lives
"We are made in the image of God and endowed with rights inherited from Him. Government's primary responsibility is to advance the cause of freedom and promote, protect, and secure the inalienable rights that were endowed to us by God..."

On Immigration
"We value legal immigration... Amnesty is an affront to the rule of law.

On the Environment
"We have a moral duty to be good stewards of God's creation... Pro-growth energy and environment solutions -- those that rely on innovation, entrepreneurship and new technology -- will yield more clean, affordable, and reliable energy for America's families and business.
On the Federal Income Tax
"The federal income tax system is unfair. We should eliminated death and capital gains taxes, move to an optional single rate flat tax, allow the investment in new equipment to be written off in one year and make permanent the research and development tax credit."
On Faith in the Public Square
"The separation of church and state does not mean that there can be no reference to God in government-sanctioned activities or on public grounds. Our children should be allowed a moment of silence to pray if they desire. Crosses or other religious symbols should be able to remain on public property and the phrase “One Nation Under God” should remain in the Pledge of Allegiance."
On the Right to Keep and Bear Arms
"The 2nd amendment is clear. I have never understood the wisdom of restricting access to firearms by law-abiding citizens as if that will also keep guns out of the hands of people already predisposed to committing crimes. The 2nd amendment, and its free exercise by law-abiding citizens, makes our communities safer. And I am proud to be a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association."
On the Right to Life
"The Declaration of Independence states, “we hold these truths to be self evident”, namely, that we are all created equal and are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights, the first of which is the right to life”. Life begins at conception. We should vigorously oppose abortion on demand, embryonic stem cell research, partial birth abortion, and allowing babies who have survived an abortion to die. As people of compassion we must defend the rights of the most vulnerable, the unborn. With millions of couples seeking to adopt a child, we must do everything possible to encourage life."
On the War on Terror
"Al Qaeda, Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas and similar terrorist organizations pose serious threats to the United States. We must help defend America and our allies, remain vigilant to survive an attack on our soil and defeat our enemies."
